You have to create content before you can make money, it is just like this forum, with no content there are no forum threads for search engines to index to bring in new readers/members. I am sure you see how the ADSENSE ads key off of the content in the threads and show related ads that match the content of the threads, well your blog can do the same thing, click on mine in the link by my name to see an example of this. So David, what are you waiting for Don't put the cart before the horse, if you put out good content the money will come as the number of hits increase and other sites link to your great content
Use Blooger, use www.squarespace.com, I have a site or two with Squarespace, see www.webcenter.squarespace.com, there is a BLOG ASP SOFTWARE page that can help you on that site that will give you even more options. http://www.webcenter.squarespace.com/blog-software-blogging-asp/
http://whitedovecleaning.blogspot.com/ Blogging seems to be big in the Internet; it gives a common man a voice to millions without having to leave his bedroom! Could you make money at it? Well, sure. Why not. I use my blog as a tool for building mysite, promoting my business and providing a link that can generate some web saturation. All in all if I get 1 person or 2 to visit my site and use my services on a regular business than my blog made me money.
I've got a script that automates posting news to multiple blogs for me so I can run a very large # of blogs at the same time with only 10 minutes setup time for each one $1-2/day per blog is decent, but some popular topics can make 30-40/day easy.
